There are two emphases available to students, Creative Writing and Multi-CulturaJ Literature.Students completing the course requirements for these emphases will have obtained a significantbody of knowledge and expertise in the field of study. A Technical Writing certificate is alsooffered, giving students from any discipline a solid background in .various fonns of technicalwriting and preparing students to address a wide range of employment opportunities.

For undergraduate programs, provisions for articulation of the proposed major with community

college programs.

The lower division core courses in the CSUCI English program adhere to the nonnal standardswidely accepted at colleges and universities across the United States. Community colleges in theCSUCI service area have been consulted. and an on-going dialogue among the campuses willensure smooth transition for the transfer student. Fonnal articulation agreements are currentlyunder negotiation and will be completed before implementation of the English program in 2002.

k. Provision for meeting accreditation requirements, where applicable, and anticipated date ofaccreditation request.

(Note: Where applicable, establishment of a master's degree program should be preceded bynational professional accreditation of the corresponding bachelor's degree major program.)

Not applicable.

b. Differences between the proposed program and programs listed in Section 2a above.

The proposed curriculum for CSUCJ's Engjish program is similar to those noted in Section 2ain significant ways. Because it is important the our students obtain a solid foundation inliterature, theory and writing, many of the courses in the core requirements are much likethose in the cunicula of other major universities.

What makes this program stand out is its focus on interdisciplinarity, the hallmark of theCSUCI curriculum overall. A central portion of the curriculum crosses disciplines, givingstudents ways of making connections with other ideas, methodologies, and other ways ofknowing. For instance. in the course titled Business and Money in the American Novel,

19l/t412oo1 English Proposal

students will read works of American literature and discuss them in ways that may be familiarto English students. However, they will also be introduced to theories of economics andbusiness and approach the decisions made in the novels-those that involve money and thosethat don't-in terms of economic decision-making. They will receive from the class a newway of looking at literature and, perhaps, a new perspective on their worlds.

Professional uses of the proposed degree major program.l

An English degree is an excellent preparation for entering graduate programs in a widevariety of fields. Most obvious are, of course, graduate English programs, where studentsprepare for teaching at schools ranging from elementary to university levels, careers aswriters, or work in the publishing or entertainment industries. In addition, law schools havelong valued the English graduate, as have Business and Government programs, as well asmany other professional graduate schools.

In recent years, employers have increasingly seen the value of an employee who is able tocommunicate effectively in oral and written forms. The English graduate therefore hasenormous flexibility and an excellent opportunity to choose the employment he or she mostdesires.

In addition to the 23 high schools in the CSUCI service area, there are 8 community colleges.Three of those community colleges lie within the Ventura County Community College District.In fall 2001, there were 90 declared English majors within the Ventura County CommunityCollege District who had completed at least 45 units with a 2.0 or better GPA. It is likely thatthere are as many or more students intending to become English majors among the .117 GeneralStudies majors, 123 Transfer-Other majors, and 3,353 Undecided/Undeclared majors who havealso completed 45 or more units with a 2.0 or better GPA. The CSUN English major had 689students enrolled in Spring 200 I.

The estimates below are conservative estimates based on consultations with representatives on thecommunity college campuses and infonnation gathered by CSUCI outreach personnel.

ABSTRACT

The English undergraduate program at CSUCI has several goals, the primary of which is meetingthe philosophical, educational and cultural objectives of the university mission statement. Withinthis overarching goal, the program will stress interdisciplinarity and the multicultural, globalperspective which is the hallmark of Channel Islands programs. Students will receive a solideducation in the fields of Literature and Writing, and they will be well prepared 10 enter theirprofessions or to move on to graduate studies. Students wishing to obtain more depth in a given\1

area may choose an emphasis in Creative Writing or Multi-Cultural Literature, or they may obtaina certificate in Technical Writing. The English program will also provide a possible choice ofconcentration for the Liberal Studies program at CSUCI. Several other programs have listed oneor more English courses as requirements for their majors, and writing courses are offered whichwill serve each discipline in the university. Interdisciplinary courses in the English programprovide breadth as well as possibilities for interactions with other degree programs and theopportunity for students to make connections between ideas and fields of knowledge.

The Creative Writing Emphasis (18 units) gives English majors an opportunity to pursue theirinterests in creative writing of various forms. The culmination of the emphasis is the CreativeWriting project, which the student chooses in consultation with her or his advisor. The product ofthat course will be a completed work of publishable quality in one of the genres addressed in thecourse work. Courses may fulfill the "required sequence" requirement as well as counting towardthe emphasis.

The Multi-Cultural Literature Emphasis (18 units) gives English majors an opportunity to pursuetheir interests in studying the literature of various cultures and ethnic groups. The culmination ofthe emphasis is the Multi-Cultural Literature project, which the student chooses in consultationwith her or his advisor. The product of that course will be a completed work which addresses theliterature (broadly defined as fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama and film) addressed in the coursework. Courses may fulfill the "required sequence" requirement as well as counting toward the

emphasis.

The Certificate in Technical Writing (18 units) gives students from any of the disciplines anopportunity to pursue their interests in Technical Writing, and the certificate will prove valuablein a variety of career choices. The culmination of the certificate is the Special Topics course,which may be an internship or may be a project the student chooses in consultation with her or hisadvisor. [Courses may riQ! fulfill the "required sequence" requirement for English majors as well

as count toward the certificate.]

English majors will keep a portfolio of work produced in each of their required courses andelectives. The student will work closely with his or her advisor in developing the portfolio, whichwill be reviewed for the capstone course.

Note: Program assessment will be on-going, including entrance and exit surveys as well as fonnaland infonnal modes ofinfonnation gathering during each student's time at CSUCI. Thisinfonnation will be compiled yearly in an effort to constantly improve the quality of the programand maintain a dialogue with student needs and exceed professional standards.

Degree Offered: Bachelor of Arts

The major in English at California State University Channel Islands focuses on the study ofLiterature, Writing and Criticism in an interdisciplinary context. Students develop a soundfoundation in all three areas while developing analytical and critical skills, as well as the ability toexplore, organize, and articulate ideas through writing. Literature and language are significantcultural phenomena that shape and are shaped by particular contexts; therefore, this programaddresses the historical and cultural significance of English as a language and as a body of texts.

Course work in the English program is completed in three areas. Foundation courses provide thetools for intellectual discussion of materials. Interdisciplinary courses provide the student anopportunity to make connections with different ideas, different approaches and different ways ofknowing. The required sequence provides for more in-depth investigation in a specialized fieldof English Literature, Writing or Education. In addition, the student may choose to pursue anemphasis is Creative Writing or Multi-Cultural Literature, or a certificate in Technical Writing.

English majors will keep a portfolio of work produced in each of their required courses andelectives. The student will work closely with his or her advisor in developing the portfolio, whichwill be reviewed by the instructor as a prerequisite to the capstone course. At the end of thecapstone, when all course requirements have been fulfilled for the major, there will be a reviewthe final portfolio.

Students must meet all university requirements for a bachelor's degree.Note: Most courses will not be offered every semester.

2) Provide a discussion of the minimum faculty/ lecturer/ staff hiring that will be necessary to offer theprogram over the four years after the program is implemented.

During the first year, 10 courses will be offered the first semester and eleven during the secondsemester. Current faculty plus one new hire and one adjunct should be sufficient to handle thecourses. (Note: The two secondary education courses and Linguistics will be taught by LillianVega-Casteneda and will therefore not require additional English faculty.)

Beginning in year two, fifteen courses per semester are planned. Faculty (and adjuncts) from yearone, plus one full-time hire (lecturer or tenure-track) should be sufficient to handle the courseload. If student enrollment is higher than expected, an additional adjunct may be required.

3) Discuss how the courses listed in Table 2 will be taught using the faculty/ lecturers/ staff in J) and 2)above.

In the first year, Dr. Kilpatrick will teach two courses per semester. The new hire will teach threecourses per semester, and Dr. Vega-Casteneda will teach two courses per semester. An adjunct willteach three to five courses.

In years two-four, Dr. Kilpatrick will teach three or four courses per semester. The new hire will teachfour courses per semester, a full-time hire will teach four, and adjuncts will teach the remainingcourses. (Courses in composition and other service areas may require more than one section.)
